"Long live independent film!" - Sean Baker #Oscars

This feels like a bad idea. All of them have already been doing this and making property prices unlivable.

⚠️ PSA to anyone posting to YouTube ⚠️ Definitely go in and turn this off!! I don’t think it even needs explaining at this point!! Please let everyone know
